Many of Jeff’s films used the tip in Whitehawk and Black Rock as backdrop and location. He had a studio in the old DHSS building (61 St James’s Street, demolished in 1970's) just past St Mary’s Church with other artists, such as John Upton and Gary Turner who featured in his films.

He lived in Vernon Terrace for many years.
